This car is a 2006 Mercedez CLS 55 AMG. it has 18000 miles. the paint was in pretty good shape considering the car sits outside all day every day. This isn't a daily driver, but since it isn't garaged i wanted to go with a LSP that was going to last a while, so i went with 1Z Glanz wax. The paint had a lot of RIDS, so i needed to do a 3-step polishing on this car. i spent a whole 3 DAYS on this car just to make it absolutely flawless. thoughts on M95- i like it, it has a pretty good work time, but i found that it doesn't cut as much or finish down as fine as M105. Especially on this ceramic clear coat it was hard to correct the paint.

P21s Wheel gel took care of this problem! look at how dirty the clay was! (don't mind the black rubber marks) After Claying the entire car Getting close to the end of day 2 on the job. After polishing with SIP. at the end of day 2 i had completed polishing the car and applied 1Z Glanz wax. Day 3 i went back in the morning to give the car a wipedown with FK425 and do the interior. Finished!!! i hope you enjoyed seeing that! thanks for looking! Dom
I love that body style Benz soooooooooooo much. That and the CLS500's are wicked to me. Car came out great :thumb: I like those wheels too, and I'm glad they aren't black.
Wow awesome job, I love those CLS's. I don't know why they call them 4 door coupes. 3 days! That must have been quite some price tag.
Looks incredible! Darn, I keep saying it, but I have to try this wax. I have so many others just waiting on my shelf though.
